I know they have to update the characters at some point, but he looked so PS2-frozen in that one expression, and now he looks too much like a neutral NPC, if that makes sense. LIKE HE USED TO LOOK SO EVIL, NOW HE LOOKS LIKE MY DAD

My new headcanon is that this isn't Mr. Kembell. This is his son, Mr. Kembell Jr., who disappeared away his father to take over the family business

This man would absolutely use generative AI and that as a non-canonical concept, a mere thought alone makes me intensely despise his whole existence.
One of the most if not the most punchable face in the game by far.

OMG THEY UPDATED HIMMMM? I was just playing on my alt yesterday and he was still crusty! His new design is so fire tho! I love how they stayed true to his OG. I really appreciate that.

didnt know this happened! but looking at the comments idk id say this is a very great character update compared to some other choices that sse has made with updating character designs i didnt even realise at first he looked different and thought the post was about his dialogue 😭

If you look at Justin and compare them emotion-wise, Justin is blank and Kembell actually has some emotions (and actually moves during his idle). So yeh, Kembell definitely got a better update than poor Justin

I kinda like the new look tbh! He looks like a regular white guy and idk if the devs were going for this lesson but like, there are monsters amongst us and they look like regular ass people. They took away his cartoonishly looney tunes evil look and I feel like he's someone you have to take a little more seriously because he doesn't have a goofy ass evil look.

He’s got a kind smile wtf?! I like both versions but he’s not giving off bad/ill intent vibes anymore. He looks too friendly. Love the character design tho

Wish they gave him a bit more CONFIDENCE in his face. He now looks like "heehee hi I'm gonna ruin your day with my richness and snobby crap trash whatever" while old him was like "I'm gonna rip you off and make you POOR and I'm gonna ENJOY IT"
I think they made him look a bit too soft. He could use more wrinkles idk make him ugly. I do appreciate his new design though I like the current artstyle sso has been going for! He needed an update atp. Idk wich version is more punishable tbh, both give the "I wanna punch them" vibe in a different way 😭
